Brief description

Underground halite, or salt, deposits can potentially be used for large scale storage of hydrogen. This dataset maps the spatial distribution of known, thick underground halite deposits across Australia. Halite sequences included in this map are at least 100 metres thick (to ensure sufficient storage capacity) and are located onshore. Known, thick halite deposits are located in the Carnarvon, Amadeus and Adavale basins. Underground halite deposits have not been extensively explored for across Australia and additional halite deposits suitable for large scale hydrogen storage may exist. Geoscience Australia, through the Exploring for the Future (EFTF) program, is therefore exploring for underground halite deposits to further our understanding of sub-surface halite distribution for potential hydrogen storage. This map may be updated periodically to reflect new halite discoveries found during the EFTF program. This dataset is published with the permission of the CEO, Geoscience Australia.

Statement: This dataset has been generated using open source information on onshore, underground halite deposits across Australia. It was originally published in Feitz et al (2019) - “Prospective hydrogen production regions of Australia” http://dx.doi.org/10.11636/Record.2019.015.

Notes

Purpose
This dataset provides open access to the locations of known underground halite deposits (greater than 100 metres thick) located across onshore Australia. It is also displayed as a web service on Geoscience Australia's, Australia's Hydrogen Opportunities tool (ww.AusH2.gov.au). Additionally, this dataset will be included in the second iteration of Geoscience Australia's Hydrogen Economic Fairways Tool (HEFT), due to be publically released toward the end of 2021. The first iteration of HEFT is live and can be accessed at the AusH2 website.
